getbinaries: missing packages error for CentOS 6

Hi,

Today I've noticed (and yes, if you're wondering, this is not usually the case, usually the build goes without a hitch) that the CentOS 6 build target for my vim package has been returning the error (and hence getting the build state of 'failed'):

for 64-bit. All other build targets are working perfectly fine for my vim package and none other of my packages are getting this bizarre error. Is this likely a temporary problem due to some fiddling by the OBS developers with the CentOS 6 repositories used by the OBS, or is it something I'm going to have to fix myself? I'm guessing it is the former, but I'd like a little reassurance.

Re: getbinaries: missing packages error for CentOS 6

Adrian Schröter (adrianS on #opensuse-buildservice IRC) fixed this error for me. It seems that the OBS developers recently decided to switch the repos for the OBS (the ones used for satisfying build deps) from ones they kept to the upstream ones used by the actual distros the OBS packages for. Unfortunately CentOS 6 didn't have signed repos (which lead to this error), so for CentOS 6 they had to revert back.
